N180 Form/Directions Questionnaire Received

Were there any double red or double yellow lines on the road? Doesn't look like it.

The onus is on the claimant to make any restrictions clear. The convention in this country is that unmarked road surfaces are allowable for parking. Lines indicate restrictions and lines indicate there is a sign nearby explaining what they are.

In fact you can see where there are double yellows and not. Plus everyone is parking!

More parked vehicles from above. It's an entrapment zone.

You might have a look at Jopson v Homeguard - (Judgment 9GF0A9E) where the judge said: -

Neither party was able to direct the court to any authority on the meaning of the word “park”. However, the Shorter Oxford Dictionary has the following: “To leave a vehicle in a carpark or other reserved space” and “To leave in a suitable place until required.” The concept of parking, as opposed to stopping, is that of leaving a car for some duration of time beyond that needed for getting in or out of it, loading or unloading it, and perhaps coping with some vicissitude of short duration, such as changing a wheel in the event of a puncture. Merely to stop a vehicle cannot be to park it; otherwise traffic jams would consist of lines of parked cars.

You were certainly dealing with a vicissitude as your car wouldn't run!

Look again at your Notice of Allocation. The Notice that gives the hearing date.

Is there not a paragraph something like:

Each party must deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all documents on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than [ . . . ] [14 days before the hearing].

Might be on the back.

Those 'documents on which you intend to rely' are your Witness Statement and evidence.
